Dear Louise: I am sorry to hear of the passing of Bob. I am in Florida and when I read his obit on line this morning, my thoughts immediately went back to all of the great times we had together during the seventies. I always enjoyed Bob and working with him on the various committees etc. with Glen Forest and St Threasa's. how much fun did we have back in those days? Again, you have my deepest sympathy and I wish you well.
